About the Pink Triangle Memorial

The Pink Triangle Memorial was founded to remember and honor the homosexual victims of Nazi persecution during the Holocaust in the 1930s and 40s.  The persecution of people whose sexuality or gender identity is non-conforming, LGBTQ, continues in many parts of the world.  The PTP is dedicated to advocacy on behalf of groups who are vulnerable to persecution or discrimination and to the acceptance and celebration of human diversity.  We aspire to a world with full human rights and equality for all the diverse groups who constitute the human community.

In the development and maintenance of a garden to express these goals and values, we seek to create a beautiful, calming space to reflect on the past and generate hope for the future.  We promote environmental conservation and environmental education and leadership.  To that end, we implement sustainable horticultural practices and we solicit continual community involvement in the maintenance of, and special events at, the PTM.

The PTM is a living monument to the ideals of social justice, environmental stewardship, and community.

Purpose

The Pink Triangle Memorial seeks to promote social and environmental awareness by offering a safe, clean, hopeful, and harmonious place to remember the injustices of the past and present and to inspire work toward a more harmonious and egalitarian future.

The Eureka Valley Foundation

The Eureka Valley Foundation (EVF) was created in 2007 by the Eureka Valley Promotion Association (now EVNA) as a means to support the maintenance, improvements, beautification and outreach for the Pink Triangle Memorial (PTM). The maintenance of the Pink Triangle Memorial is the one and only purpose of the EVF. 100% of funds donated to the EVF are for support of the memorial.

The EFV is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation.  Gifts to EVF or PTM are tax deductible as a public charity.  Thank you for your consideration.

While no longer the providing direct fiscal support, the EVNA remains committed to the mission of the EVF and Pink Triangle Memorial.
